I would like to start this review by saying that I have never left a negative review of a business in my life, but was so appalled and shocked by our treatment at the Station Hotel yesterday afternoon that I wanted to let people know, however if you read the other reviews (and the owners responses!) -  we should not have been so surprised.   I had booked a table for 8 as we were attending ladies day at the Dobbie Hall and wanted to book for food afterwards.  We arrived for our table around 5.20,  and were told we were upstairs which was no problem at all.  There was only 1 other table upstairs.  Now, we had been drinking, and are all women aged mid 40's to early 50's who live locally and own businesses locally,  but we were by no means drunk or disorderly.  The waitress sat us down and her first comment was " Anything to drink - water .. aye" to which we laughed and said defiantly some water for the table,  but can we have drinks too - she walked away with no response.  Around 10 minutes later we still hadn't been served, but were chatting away and asked a passing member of staff if we could have a drink and order food - he walked away saying "in a minute" we didn't give it much thought  but a few moments later a gentleman, who we now know is the owner, and is infamous apparently for his rude behaviour (read other negative reviews),  arrived at our table declaring "Right ladies you wont be getting served here - Get out!!!" Honestly -  2 of our friends started laughing as they thought he was joking and said this to him to which he said "No I'm not joking, the staff said you were swearing now get out!"  No staff whatsoever had even came over to us and whilst i cannot say that no one at the table swore at all, we are not a group of ladies who shout, scream and swear and behave in that manner.  We tried to speak to him and acknowledged that yes, we were a bit tipsy but we're not falling around drunk or being argumentative or rude at all.  We apologised if anyone swore but tried to reason with him as we only wanted some food.  He said that someone had told him to F Off?? now none of us said that and no one heard anyone else say that to him either ?   I completely understand that pubs don't want trouble  and sometimes have to ask people to leave when they have been spoken to and continue to behave inappropriately but this was absolutely not the case with our party - we were absolutely stunned by his aggressive behaviour and left absolutely shocked at the treatment we received.  We went to the Gulnar and asked if they had any tables explaining what had happened and they accommodated us.  we had a great meal here and the staff couldnt have been nicer.  Friends of ours who were at the station couldn't believe we had been asked to leave as they had seen us and knew that whilst we had been drinking we were not drunk or behaving in an inappropriate manner.  I have read other reviews on here. along with some of the owners responses which speak volumes, and there are quite a few negative reviews with most  featuring the manager and his attitude.    It is such a shame as the station was always a fantastic pub and for many years when i lived locally, a regular of mine.  We definitely won't be back but it seems he was on a roll last night as friends of our told us several people were put out for nothing more than being a little loud.  On another note we could not recommend the Gulnar or the Commercial Bar enough - great atmosphere, friendly service and a pleasant atmosphere.

Rude, Agressive and Intimidating Manager/Owner

Visited for lunch.  Two menus, a lunchtime menu and a large all day menu and my friend 
and I had one from each.  We had steak pie from the main menu and the fish from lunch menu  which were very good.  You have to wait a while for your food but you can see why when it arrives as it is freshly cooked.  Would highly recommend and would return.

Midweek lunch

Absolutely beautiful meal , fantastic vegetarian nut roast and beautiful turkey meal for the rest of the family. You don’t need to go to Glasgow or Edinburgh for quality food at reasonable prices. Will be back 

Fantastic festive dining

11 had dinner here.Menu had a good choice of Food.service was exceptional as was the food.We had a three course was well as coffee with  various things off the menu,and all the plates were emptyWhisky choice is phenomenal,as is the Gin.Will be back soon.

birthday dinner

I would not recommend anyone dine here. We are here about 16 months ago and it was great! I don’t know what’s changed but the service was so poor that we never even got a chance to try the food which judging by other reviews has went downhill too. 

We were sat upstairs by ourselves with our baby and told we couldn’t sit downstairs as there was no room despite there being multiple empty tables. I think they sat us alone upstairs purely because we had a baby with us. 

After waiting in the silent upstairs section of the restaurant for about 15 mins our order was finally taken by some gloomy young staff members. All the staff we encountered were lacking in customer service skills and made us feel quite unwelcome - completely the opposite to our last visit. 

Shortly after placing our order we decided against staying any longer as the place was devoid of any atmosphere whatsoever. We paid for our drinks and packed up to leave. 

Upon coming downstairs there were still the empty tables that we saw when we came in, further convincing us we had been sat upstairs purely because we had a child with us. We received no goodbye from staff, just some dirty looks. 

The sign above the door reads “haste ye back” - not a chance. We will never be back. 

Please don’t waste your money in this unwelcoming restaurant which has a depressing atmosphere and even depressing staff. There are so many better alternatives in Falkirk! 

Avoid at all costs

Great place for food anytime. We were heading to Stirling but thought, why bother? Haddock and steak pie were delicious and good to see halloumi back on the menu. Service was very good and the beers were excellent, always well kept and well received. We will be back soon, by train. 

Sunday lunch

Had a half hour to kill for a train decided to grab a quick drink. It’s pretty quiet in the bar however I was left standing only for three people to come in get served and then serve someone in front of me yet again. Let me make this perfectly clear it was not busy there was no easy mistake this was pure ignorance they chose to walk past me. I strongly advise against this place the staff are nothing short of a disgrace 

Ignorant staff

Excellent staff, wonderful customers who all made our experience truly welcoming and great! Thank you.
Been here before so couldn’t miss it out !
Really great selection of malts and well kept beers.
If passing on the train GET OFF and pop in ! As they’ll be another train along soon…….

After flying in for the Scotland v Wales game and on way to where staying for weekend not too far from Larbert.

We attended on Sunday 22nd for a impromptu lunch .I ordered the Steak Pie ,While I would have to say the pie itself was as good as any steak pie Iv ever had everything else associated with the visit was at best poor and at worst appalling.I just can’t get that such a great job was done with the difficult bit but the easier parts so bad .

The chips were awful ,a mix of very small overcooked chips and some that were not so bad ,veg bland too .

The worst part though was the service ,Normally good practice for front of house staff to do a check back shortly after service to make sure things are satisfactory ,Our check back was added on while the plates were collected .Now this is the key part ,There is a good reason our server never had time to do her correct procedure.During our meal she had to remove 2 dogs from the restaurant 5 times ,I would assume that these dogs either belong to staff or the owners .This really isn’t acceptable to have animals running freely around a food outlet .

Steak Pie great ,Just a shame it was wasted .

Went into hotel for the first time. Ordered a lunch, my wife had lovely lentil and ham soup with crusty bread, I had breaded mushrooms with salad, delicious and good portion. Main courses were bacon cheese burger,delicious. Wife had macaroni cheese with garlic bread and salad. Quality perfect, staff were so lovely. 2young girls were very nice and efficient. Will definitely be back.
